I've used mullvad for quite a long time, but because it doesn't have port forwarding, its created some concerns with media sharing. Ive seen TorGuard and AirVPN as the main 2 that are recommended. Are they as trustworthy as Mullvad?

Some days my download speeds are dial-up caliber. On Mullvad and Proton I had >300 vs <1 on Air. They're not worth it for port forwarding in my personal use case (found that out the hard way, very disappointing). But if you don't require anything beyond a few kilos up or down, they're fine
